Crossing is bad, try to get them to cross as close to perpendicular are possible to minimize the effect. Touching is bad too- try to separate them, even if it is a little bit by wedging something in between. Try to use something inert like a piece of ceramic.
Splicing the cable would probably do more harm than good in terms of adding extra connections, foreign materials (even if they are gold palted jacks), etc.
If you are worried you could tryto use a line conditioner (Monster has some cheap ones that clean cable feeds) and see if it helps at all.
If it help, it is a cheap easy solution. If it does not help then your cables crossing is not too big a deal.

I think there are probably bigger things to worry about (that have more of an effect)
